    - Moving SBS 2000 to a different machine. I have a SBS 2000 (with 15 CALs) running on a machine that is runnning out of HD space. We plan to move it a different machine with bigger HD. Is this possible? Are there any gotchas that I should be aware of? I heard that CALs would look for the old NICs (from the original machine). Is there a work around this so that I can port our current SBS (including CALs) to the new machine? Is there a document on Microsoft site for this kind of migration? Any help would be much appreciated/ Tag: User account Tag: 156898

    - Exchange licenses exceeding users I noticed a disturbing thing yesterday, When looking at my exchange 2003 server I noticed it was throwing up warnings about license usage exceeding license limits. I am using per server licenses and when I go into licensing uder admin tools I actually have 12 more CALS being used than I have users. And my current users are randomly being kicked off of the server. I then looked uder the exchange system manager and I have the correct number of mailboxes for the users, though I have 3 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM mailboxes (SMTP, System Attendant and SystemMailbox) that I assume are some default creations. But taking these into account I still have more CALS out than mailboxes. Can anyone give me some idea as to what may or may not be going on? Tag: User account Tag: 156893

    - reaching the 50 user barrier on SBS 2000 We currently are running SBS 2000. Ourt business has grown substantially over the past year and we are approaching the 50 user limit on SBS. Because of this, we are looking at upgrading to SBS 2003 (75 users) OR full blown win 2003 server with Exchagne SQL server ISA etc... (very very pricy!!!) This morning as a test, I added 10 more 'test' users - which would put us beyond the 50 user limit just to see what would happen. I created Exchange mailboxes for each. I expected SBS to prevent me from adding the 51st user, but was pleasantly surprised when this was not the case. Where is the limit? Does it prevent 51 concurrent users only - meaning I could have 100 users in the AD but as long as only 50 are logged on at once I'm ok? If this is the case, then we are ok because we will not have all 50 users on at once. Please let me know where the SBS limitations are. Maybe we do not have to upgrade to 2003 SBS just yet... Thanks, Brad Tag: User account Tag: 156873

    - Changing DNS name of SERVER Our ISP has changed some settings at their end meaning that the name of our server is no longer treated as 'secure'. Unfortunately they forgot to tell their customers this! We need to therefore change the name. Under system properties, network indentification tab, it says that the ID of our computer cannot be changed because it is a domain controller. Also under Active Directory Users and Computers, Domain Controllers snap-in (help)it says that only a member of Domains Admin Group is allowed to make this change. I thought I had set one user up as such.. but then again! Please can somone explain (a) how to set one user up as a member of domain admins groups and (b) thereafter how to change the name of the server? Many thanks Tag: User account Tag: 156852

    - Obscure license issue question I have a question that I hope someone might be able to help me with. A customer of mine has an SBS machine in his head office. This machine connects to the internet via a broadband router, and participates in SQL server replication from other machines that are installed in the customers other offices around the country. In a downstairs office of the same building, the customer runs another business. He wants to install another SBS machine, which will then replicate SQL server data out to another location, again via the Internet. My question is: can we do this using the same broadband router that the 'upstairs' machine uses? This would require that the two SBS machines are on the same IP network, but they would be configured to have different domains. In actual fact, once the data has been replicated out to another system via the internet, that system in turn will replicate back into the upstairs system. This is because data is collated in groups of offices, and each group is then passed back to the head office system, 'upstairs' in this scenario. My headache is whether I would be breaking the SBS licensing rules by having these machines physically connected. It appears that I can assign two different addresses to the LAN side of the broadband router, so I could have the two on separate IP networks (as long as we can figure out SQL replication using non-standard port numbers) but would this be enough to satisfy licensing? The last option is a second broadband connection and another router, but the customer is keen to avoid the running cost of another line. Your thoughts would be most appreciated. Mike.

    - Why is my ISA SMTP filter not working? Hi , I am running SBS 2000 for my business. I have 10 users and use all the SBS2000 components except SQL (not installed). We use Exchange as SMTP e-mail server (no POP connector). I set up a number of SMTP filters to delete messages that contain the typical executables, exe, com, pif, scr etc. I was uncomfortable with the number of worms that were getting through as far as my anti-virus software (Trend). However, in spite of the filter I am still getting notification from Trend of e-mails that contain message.scr and message.pif with a virus (Netsky). I thought that the filter would be deleting these messages before they got to the anti-virus. I tried adding message.scr to the filters in addition to *.scr but these are still getting through. What am I missing?? Thanks Cal Vickery Tag: User account Tag: 156824

    - Duplicate computer name On a client's network I get a "duplicate computer name" error in system event log when running windows update on an XP workstation. The update wont run but just hangs the PC. Eventually the logon prompt comes up and the pc must be logged in again.

Along with this is a Windows 98 workstation that cannot get internet access unless the server is already dialled up. If the dial up connection is disconnected then the browser reports server cannot be found. As soon as the dial up is activated then the PC connects to the internet. Other PC's work fine. Any ideas?

    - Moving system to new hardware Hi Everyone, i was wondering if anyone had any experiences migrating to new hardware? My client was supplied with a very low spec machine which is struggling to keep pace with his requirements and wants to upgrade the box entirely. Am I right to think I won't have to rebuild the domain on the new server and re-create all the accounts and shares etc.? Since SBS won't allow a second DC I was wondering if there's an quick way of transferring the whole system across? I was thinking of using a disk clone/ghost tool but was afraid that it might not work due to GUID's and other such items that lurk in the background! Any suggestions would be gratefully received. regards, Darragh. Tag: User account Tag: 156792

I have a second domain only for email which works fine. I need to add a 3rd domain that will recieve email but also have an external www server. I added a second DNS zone with the www A record, but there must be something I'm missing. I made the zone active directory aware as that seemed the best choice in the wizard.

    - Add a new pop3 delivery Hi 1. I have a SBS 2000 server and is set up for one of my two domain names. Both domain names are pop3 enabled for delivery. I have the first one MAIN DOMAIN which is set up fine with only the email addresses I've speciifed being delivered eg public one called info@maindomain and the specified users, but unspecified -where do they go 2. The 2nd domain I've put in the 'user mailboxes' as a separte pop3 account. Does this the download all emails from that 2nd domain to the user you specify? Can emails be separated out? I think I've downloaded wrongly as a global and they 100 emails have all ended up in the system mailbox - oops are they lost 3. Can Exchange on SBS2000 only sent out emails as if from either domain or only from the @maindomai 4. Is there some good articles on how this stuff? Tag: User account Tag: 156771

    - Potential problems migrating from 4.5 to 2000 using different domain name I am currently running a small SBS 4.5 installation (about a dozen users) and am in the process of migrating to SBS 2000. My SBS 4.5 machine was called 'ntserver' and so I am taking the opportunity to call my new SBS machine something more appropriate (I'm also giving my domain a more appropriate name). I want to keep my 4.5 system running as long as possible during the migration and so was planning to migrate users in small batches. I've read in the Microsoft SBS 2000 Migration Upgrade White Paper that "...These steps assume you have the same domain name and IP address for the Small Business Server 2000 computer as for the Small Business Server 4.x computer. Domain name or IP address changes may cause additional configuration issues such as the inability to migrate mail from the Small Business Server 4.x computer." Does anyone know what issues there may be by doing this and if it's possible to work around them? Thanks, Gary Tag: User account Tag: 156768

    - Group policy woe :( Dear all, I'm very new to the concept of group policy and I'm having a problem setting up a group policy for our users. The aim of the policy is to restrict the list of executable files to a prespecified list. Hopefully if this works out okay.. then we can expand the role of group policy within our company :) The problem is that the clients don't seem able to get hold of the policy. I know the group policy is correct because I created a test terminal server user and sure enough when you log on with that user the policy is applied.. It's the remote computers that are giving me a headache. I have a Test computer who is typical of the errors I get across the network. When I run "secedit /refreshpolicy user_policy /enforce" on that machine I obtain the following error in the Application Log: "Windows cannot access the registry information at \\EwcLtd.Local\sysvol\...." I tried "Start | Run" \\EwcLtd.Local\ [Return] and I got an Error message saying "The Network Path Not Found". Our XP machines, however, are able to access this resource.. but access to the subfolder sysvol still isn't available to XP. Indeed, the group policy doesn't work on the XP machine either. It's Interesting that if I take the raw IP address of the server and try and navigate to the inaccessible path stated in the event log I can get there fine. This would seem to point to a DNS problem.. However, manually inserting an entry for EWCLtd.Local in the hosts file of the machine doesn't have any effect. What would you guys suggest I try next?

    - Server crashed. Have IDR from Veritas 9.1. Never used. Tips? One of those Saturday afternoons. On a client's server, lost the boot drive, 1 of 4 drives gone bad. SCSI drive gone bad, there is power to the drive but it does not spin. The other three drives are fine. I had SBS2k installed on this drive, fortunately, most of the data resides on the other drives. Exchange was on this drive, as well as ISA. Tried the same drive in another PC, and the same thing happens. Definitely a bad SCSI drive. The drive is two years old. My client's employees are out of the office for two days in a conference. I have time to bring this server up. This is a good thing. The backup ran fine Friday night. I updated Veritas' IDR, Intelligent Disaster Recovery bootable CD a week ago and am ready to use it. Already have a replacement scsi drive installed. Running Veritas Backup Exec 9.1, SBS 2000, SP4 on the Windows 2000 side, SP4 on the exchange side, Sp1 on the ISA side. I have about two days to bring this server up want to proceed in the most efficient way. And am curious if this IDR works or if you have experience with it. I was going to install Symantec's Enterprise Edition Ghost product this week, bad timing. What tips do you have on bringing this server up and running as fast as possible? I have some breathing room.

The server and clients are updated regulary.

    - Exchange Hi I run an Exchange server for my small business, my ISP is NTL via a 600K cable modem and my hosting company is Zen. My problem is some mail deliveries are becoming difficult from a dynamic IP, that didn't used to be a problem when I was on Zen and ADSL with a fixed IP. Notable examples are AOL, which will not collect from an SMTP server on dynamic IP. To get round this I set a new SMTP connector in Exchange to route all mail for the domain AOL.com via the NTL mail server, this works OK. However I have just come across one that will not, whenever I send mail I get the following back Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients Subject: Valv Sent: 22/4/2004 08:2 The following recipient(s) could not be reached info@teqcom.com on 24/4/2004 02:0 The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message was sent to. Check the e-mail address, or contact the recipient directly to find out the correct address < mta1-win.server.ntlworld.com #5.1.1 smtp; 550-mta01-svc.ntlworld.com [62.253.***.***] is currently not permitted to relay 550-through this server. Perhaps you have not logged into the pop/imap server 550-in the last 30 minutes or do not have SMTP Authentication turned on in your 550 email client What I think is happening is that this server is doing a reverse DNS lookup on the domain from which the return address is listed (Me@MyZenHostedDomain.co.uk) and getting a different answer than the NTL server that is sending the mail. I cant think of a way round this, I have tried asking Zen to let me send via their SMTP server from an NTL connection, but no dice! I could either swap Zen as the domain host or go back to them for ADSL, but both involve hassle. Any other ideas? Also is there a decent way of finding out what Exchange is doing when it sends these messages Cheers, Dave Tag: User account Tag: 156710

    - Is VPN a Good Solution for this Scenario Group: I would like the opinion of the group on something. I'm wondering if we have made a mistake changing to a vpn. The scenario is that we have about 450 users who dial in each day and send/receive data to/from us. They may receive as much as 50-60mb during a transmission, though more common would be 5mb. I'm assuming that 50 vpn users is the max that could be on at the same time but our bandwidth runs out way before that anyway. In any event, is a vpn a good solution for this scenario? Thanks.

    - Trying To VPN into SBS Through Cisco PIX 515e Our vpn into our SBS 2k currently uses a dsl connection to come in. Simply put it just doesn't have enough bandwidth. It does work though until the bandwidth become a problem. To resolve the bandwidth problem we have installed a fiber optics line coming in and are using a cisco pix 515e for our firewall. I can log in to the vpn through the pix but when I try to run a script which maps a drive I get a message that informs me that the password is incorrect. This is simply a net use command and if I add the password and username in the command it works. If I don't get the password message I get a message that no logon servers were available to process the request. I tired a cheap Netgear router in place of the cisco router and had the same results. I can't figure out what the difference could be since it works with the current configuration coming in throught the dsl line. Has anyone ever seen anything like this before or have any suggestions?

    - SBS 2000 replacement server I have to upgrade the sbs 2000 DC on my domain. Can I add a DC running 2000 server to the domain as this would then have the AD structure and data replicated to it. This is the only way I can think of doing this as I cannot add another SBS 2000 DC. Does anyone know if I use exmerge fro exhange will all of the mail accounts be created or do I have to create the accounts on the new server before completing exmerge. Also after I add the 2000 server DC if I demote the SBS 2000 DC using DCPROMO will all of the exchange data still be on the server or should I complete the exchange and database moves before I demote the SBS 2000 server. Once I have done all of this can I upgrade the 2000 server to SBS 2000 server and still keep all of the data on the new hardware. Thanks Tag: User account Tag: 156676

Hope someone can help me. I found an article on how to go into a user's properties and under permissions deny the user permission to get to their mailbox. I did not want to disable to account. However, when I went in and disabled full control for the "self" the user's account is inaccessible within AD users and computers. It has a windows icon next to it and If I go to the properties it tells me that the information cannot be displayed. This Domain admin had permission on this account and I did not change any permission there, just the Self. Is there anyway I can get this account back the way it was or do I have to delete it entirely????

I'm not sure how you can get it back...
If you log onto the server as Administrator (don't use any other
account)...go to AD Users and Computers you cannot access the users
Properties??

As for access to the inbox...I believe you could disable that through the
Exchange tabs

I guess I hadn't waited long enough, I was able to go into today and at least the Security tab opened up. I made changes there and now I'm waiting to see if everything looks ok within the next day or two. I'll remove the permission by using the Exschange tab rather than the security tab. Thanks.
